Frantoio Olive Tree
Very Productive with High Quality Oil
The Frantoio Olive Tree is a classic Italian variety revered for producing some of the world's finest olive oil. With its graceful, open canopy and long, flexible fruiting branches, Frantoio lends a true Mediterranean elegance to any garden. Its medium-sized, oval-shaped fruit offers an exceptional, fruity, and aromatic oil, making it a favorite among both home growers and professional producers. Although it has low cold tolerance, its high productivity and rich flavor profile make the Frantoio a prized addition to warm-climate orchards and landscapes.

Guarantee
We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
